Sion vs Varus Matchup Summary
The Sion vs Varus matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 45 recent matches analyzed, Sion wins with a 55.6% win rate compared to Varus's 44.4%, giving Sion a 11.1 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Sion controls the early laning stage, but Varus outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Sion needs to press advantages before Varus reaches their power spikes, while Varus should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Sion leads by 2,125 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Sion players can confidently pick into Varus and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Varus away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
